2. Creating a unique section type for the <$toc> page and then assigning a simple text section layout to that section type in the compile settings.

Both of the methods above worked to produce a proper table of contents, but the Kindle app on macOS plonked the contents at the start of the book, even though I had set the <$toc> to be the final page. Don't have a Kindle device to try it on.

I haven't figured out how to make a post of on own instead of in a thread. I just upgraded and now I can't find one of the manuscripts I was working on and getting very afraid. I know that Scrivener automatically saves, but after the upgrade I can't seem to find the file that I've been working on for a past few months. Any ideas?

I'm having this problem as well when compiling for ePub. I am using version 3.0.1.I've tried the to suggestions above without success. My goal is simple. I want to move the toC to a different location. I've created the page, added the code, clicked create HTML ToC, but all I get is the ToC appearing at the start of the ePub document and a page with the code <$toc> where I would like the ToC to appear

Is <$toc> the only text in an otherwise blank document, does it have a section break before and after it, and does the title of the document containing the <$toc> code match the title given to the ToC page in the Compile settings? All of those must be true for the <$toc> tag to be used.
